I join everyone at breakfast the next day when Uriah and Zeke announce that tonight they're hosting some games and they invite us to join them. We arrive at Uriah and Christina's apartment just as the fun is about to begin where Zeke, Shauna, Uriah and Christina are sitting. There are several bottles of alcohol on the counter and six shot glasses nearby.
"We're going to play 'Never Have I Ever' and if you have done any of these things, you have to drink a shot!" Christina announces loudly to everyone. I'm nervous because I have never had a drink; coming from Abnegation where the consumption of alcohol isn't tolerated.
Christina starts up off by saying "Never have I ever injured myself to impress someone I was interested in." I look around the room and see almost everyone take a drink as I down one myself. It burns but I like it. Uriah is the next person to say something and snickers a bit when he says "Nevr have I ever been in handcuffs." Tobias and I exchange glances and down a shot.
Shauna speaks next and says "Never have I ever tried to cut my own hair." I take a third shot and begin to feel buzzed. The ground feels like it's moving under my feet a bit and I struggle to keep some of my balance. Zeke is next and he quips "Never have I ever broken a bone." I sigh as I take another shot.
Tobias stands up and offers "Never have I ever broken a promise." I down one more shot and then I fall onto the floor unceremoniously. He laughs and decides to take me home because I can't stand or speak normally any longer. He half drags, half carries me back to the apartment. "Yu look so hot." I slur to him. He chuckles and smiles back at me as he eases me onto the bed. I kiss him softly and say good night, drifting off to sleep almost immediately.
I'm awaken the next day by an uncomfortable pounding in my head and nausea that immediately makes me run to the bathroom. Tobias holds my hair back as I retch and gently rubs my back.
"Rough night?" he asks and I nod as I wipe off my mouth. "What happened when I was you know…" I trail off and a slight smile and giggle reaches his lips. "Drunk? Nothing really but you told me I look hot." he chuckles. "Well, it is true." he raises an eyebrow and strikes a sexy pose by the door. "We have a leader's meeting this afternoon and then I thought maybe we could go on a date after, I already have something planned for us." he winks. I smile and say yes, I love him so much.
I make it home after the meeting to prepare for the date where Christina is already waiting for me. She does my hair and makeup as I slip into the short, black dress she bought me during initiation. She finishes with me a few minutes before the date is so I head to the pit where Tobias said to meet him. We meet up and take the train to nice grassy area in the park where he sets out a blanket and a picnic basket. The sun is just beginning to set with beautiful streaks of orange and light pink as we settle comfortably on the blanket.
We pull out food from the basket and eat as I feel a gentle breeze and take in the sights of the gorgeous sunset. I finish eating and Four grabs something out of his pants pocket and grabs my hand. I'm confused for a moment as he says "Take my hand." "Why?" I asked him curiously. "I trying to ask you to marry me, so take my damn hand!" he laughs as he says it and I spin around to see him crouched on one knee as he opens a small box and reveals a ring. "Wha-?" I ask as he says "So, Tris. Will you marry me?"
This is not what I expected when he invited me to a picnic in the park. I nod yes, of course as tears of happiness run down my cheeks and giddiness flows over me.
